ConvergeSouth Jobs - Yours for the Volunteering
Contact info: admin@convergesouth.com
(Volunteer and get your very own email address!)
Process:
Read the jobs available for ConvergeSouth 2008 (below). Decide which one you want to do. Make sure the job meshes with your talents and patience and then commit to it. When you are ready to commit to the whole thing with a “no matter what�? caveat, please let me know and the job is yours. (OK, not “no matter WHAT,�? but you get the idea.)

Jobs marked with $$ mean that you might have to put out some of your own money and be repaid by ConvergeSouth, usually 2-4 weeks after we make the check request.

Team Rule
No one speaks for the conference alone. No one commits money (outside your budget) or to a speaker without team approval. We don’t trash each other in blogs (or anywhere else) because we might disagree; instead, we embrace compromise where appropriate.

Driving and Parking at ConvergeSouth

Ed Cone October 16th, 2007

Friday, October 19
A&T has, at best, very difficult parking on weekdays. We are going to use the Luther parking lot (near the intersection of East Market andBenbow, see map link below) on Friday but we encourage locals to
carpool, arrive early or use door #3, that is, park in the Greene Street Parking Deck (across from the Biltmore Hotel on Washington Street) and take the ConvergeSouth shuttle.
The 15-passenger van has been hired for Friday to help us move session leaders to and from the Biltmore Hotel area. We would like to van-pool as many attendees as possible. We have a van schedule online. (The city parking deck is not free but the stress-relief may be well worth the cost.)

CurrentTV prepares a re-launch

Sue October 14th, 2007

Via DownloadSquad, Current TV, the Al Gore-backed TV network, is gearing up for a major relaunch of its web site that could help it break away from the nirvana of cable and recapture the Net. The official launch of the site is scheduled for Oct. 16, and Gore himself has been taking a break from the slideshow business to drum up publicity at the Emmys and on The Tonight Show, proclaiming that Current.com will “take interactivity to a new level.�?

Current TV will hold two sessions at ConvergeSouth this year and address issues like how to make a Current pod, demo pods, answer questions and Saskia Wilson-Brown and Brandon Gross will take pitches. Be sure to sign up for dinner with them on Saturday night on the ConvergeSouth dinner wiki. There are only 4 seats left.

DEMOs Update - DEMOs are a no-go in 2007

Sue October 7th, 2007

ConvergeSouth is unhappily but realistically cancelling DEMO presentations for 2007.

We try to add new features each year of the Conference (see The Film Festival and revitalized Music Festival); however, this year, we tried to add one too many. The response for DEMOs did not justify the scheduling and other costs associated with the feature.

We hope to do a better job contacting DEMO presenters next year and have a DEMO are worth our work and your time.

DEMO coordinators for ConvergeSouth 2008 can apply at any time!
